Hi All, I am Just curious, if R can be invoked from other programs or embedded in another program. This may be useful if we want to pipeline processes. Many thanks Sucheta -- Sucheta Tripathy Virginia Bioinformatics Institute Phase-I Washington street. Virginia Tech. Blacksburg,VA 24061-0447 phone:(540)231-8138 Fax: (540) 231-2606

This question is more suitable for R-help mailing list, but in essence yes. However it is relatively easier to call R from some programmes than other programmes. See http://www.omegahat.org/. For web server examples, see http://franklin.imgen.bcm.tmc.edu/R.web.servers/ I usually simply make a system call to an R script. Example in perl system("R --no-save < script.R arg1 arg2"). See help(BATCH) and help("commandArgs").
